Washington is trying to play a key role in peace in Afghanistan through a ceasefire between the Taliban and government forces after the United States and Kabul agreed to pull Afghan troops out of the remote areas and hand them over to the Taliban, including a part of them – the Taliban – into a government structure and win peace talks on its behalf.

While reports have been issued that the Afghan government is seeking a ceasefire with the Taliban during the Eid al-Adha, the Americans have explicitly said that the United States has pushed Taliban negotiators in Qatar to accept a cease-fire on Eid al-Adha.

But now, with regard to the United States’ approach over the past year to Afghanistan, it appears to lack any strategy in the Afghan context, and its policies over the past months towards Afghanistan have been rising steadily.

When Donald Trump took office as president, he had long debated a new strategy for Afghanistan, believing that the Obama administration had not taken the right approach to the war in Afghanistan and announced that he had a plan for a new strategy, which would also provide American advantages. But after about a year, despite the growing military presence in Afghanistan, there has been no major change in strategy and field scene in Afghanistan, and even the security situation in the country was progressing worse. Trump’s new strategy was based on the fact that as the new grip grew, the Taliban could be undermined in Afghanistan to get a higher hand in potential negotiations. But in fact, whatever happened, the situation of the Taliban in Afghanistan has not deteriorated, and some rural areas are fairly remote from the control of the government and were given to the Taliban. The failure of these policies can be seen to the extent that Donald Trump proposed the distribution of remote and rural areas and the concentration of people in urban areas.

The debate over the success of these talks is now in the dark. Some of the successes of the talks are that the Taliban have always said they did not negotiate with the Kabul government and did not accept their legitimacy because they believe the country was occupied by foreign forces and confirmed that they do not talk to the invaders. . The fact that the United States agreed to engage in direct talks with the Taliban is certainly not in the interest of the central government in Afghanistan.

Now, these conditions are hurting the central government because they have established institutions for dialogue with the Taliban, including the peace councils, which have in fact weakened. Now the interventions by the Americans in Afghanistan show that America’s goals have not happened, and on the other hand, they are undermining the actual state of Afghanistan, and the government seems unhappy.

Over the past few days, these developments have transformed the process of war and peace in Afghanistan from state control and administration, and are now pursued by the United States on the basis of the interests of the country. The issue raised by the Afghan government and the Supreme Peace Council was the initial reaction of the country and warned that no country or individual could replace the Afghan government and people in the process of peace talks with the Taliban. These negotiations should be held in the form of parliamentary talks, The United States rejected these warnings and announced that the purpose of talks with the Taliban was to pave the way for negotiations.

All this at a time when the media say that the Taliban will not be accepted in direct talks with the United States, according to conditions set by the Taliban, but the Taliban will not object if the United States wants to start negotiations with the Afghan government.

In addition, the Taliban and the United States discussed the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan within three years of the presence of the Taliban as part of the Afghan government and secure the administration and control of 13 provinces in the country.

An interesting point is that the Taliban spokesman Afghanistan said that the United States is not only ready to negotiate, but is willing to agree on the status of the Taliban in the country, according to the Pakistani newspaper Nation.

Another interesting issue is the US effort to exploit the Taliban in the competition and hostility of the Islamic Republic of Iran, an issue that the Taliban will emphasize in matters between the United States and Iran.

What is worrisome is that the Afghan government, unfortunately, has not been so obedient for the last 17 years and is not disturbed by US attitudes and strategies.

Depending on the type of personality and the radical approach pursued by Donald Trump and his advisors in different regions and countries, the Afghan government is slowly moving away from the process of fundamental changes in war and peace in the country and, of course, has no right to oppose it.

In such circumstances, there is still no indication that the Afghan Government has responded seriously to this American approach and calls for respect for Afghanistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the continuation of these developments can certainly be a serious concern for Afghanistan and the region.
